    tried updating to the latest WLM (9.0) but keeps getting errors. iv used the lil windows help link - no use :(
    No antivirus, firewall or any other programs that could possibly interfere with the installation were opened during the installation.

    Currently on Windows XP Prof. SP2

    heres a screen shot of the error.

    Did you close all programs? Something maybe still running in your Task Manager (Processers)

    actually programs need not to be closed as it will ask you to close them during installations, i just installed this on 2 computers without any issues, probably msft's server issue?

    still have the older version of wlm. any useful major differences in this one to justify an upgrade or should i stay with the older version?

    WLM 9 goes well with Win7...imo...anyways, there are what you will see:

    - participant's images are located on the left hand side now
    - participant's images can go hiddle with single click
    - the option to show your friends' msn icon or show none
    - menu bar can be hidden with single click as well
    - messenger's skin can be applied without the use of 3rd party plugins
    - messages sent by one participant before others reply are consolidated
    << so no more person A says ... person B says ... >>
    - allows more than 1 session to be signed on
    - all icons are floating meaning that will get embossed when you mouse-over
    - no more extra tabs for easy access websites
    - by default, animated icons can be used now, no more 3rd party plugins
    - auto mouse-over popup menus, no more extra clicks
    - the use of colors for displaying user's status (green, orange, red)

    - New image sharing facility (both can view shared image gallery)
    - Groups for contacts

    Msn Plus works with it too!

    I hate the new one tho...
    I like the function before how you can sort by offline/online, groups, updated spaces...
    They don't have it for the new one...

    i had the same problem.
    try downloading windows installer cleanup utility.
    remove all windows live and msn items.
    then install window 9 again.

    Hope this helps.
